Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music.

I've had Abbey is Blue on my play-list for sometime. While Dianne Reeves exuberant afro-centric performance was best if you were there, Abbey's version is best in the seclusion of one's room. That song tells a story; while Dianne's is the most exciting, Abbey's tells the story the best; 6 on one hand, a half dozen in the other, it depends on what mood you're in.

Every time I see this I fall in love with Lizz Wright, but I like the rest of the woman as well;

Afro Blue:

As always, the OP is correct.

Today's Listen:

Terence Blanchard -- A TALE OF GOD'S WILL (a requiem for katrina)

Beautiful music.   Typical left-wing liner notes.

I don't think he received proper credit for this effort.   This is really good.

Guess that's what happens when a natural disaster in politicized.

Katrina was Gods will, the wall is questionable; what was not Gods will was the response after the disaster. I saw that none response for three days on National TV.

If I tell you water is coming over a wall behind me, and you take a week to throw me a rope, you want me to drown.

I saw those bodies floating that should have long ago been safely rescued. I know the resources that were available for disaster that were never called upon and so does everyone else who was a medic in the Air Force, Navy, or the Army.

Did God will for the White House not to pick up the phone? Could the fact that most of the people suffering were Black have anything to do with it?

I, Orpheus, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed.

"That I will obey the orders of the President of the United States."

Somebody saved a few lives with a helicopter and was reprimanded because he didn't have orders.
